disable recalling user name when signing in

Hi

I am not sure this is the right place my question.......anyway, I use windows messenger (latest version, I belive) on win xp professional. When I sign in, there are a few my account names (I have multiple accounts) and I can just click my user account and type in my password. So with this setting I do not need to type my user account again and again. However, I like to disable this feature so that I need to type my user account (password as well) each time I sign in and I do not want to store my account names in the computer (so my account name won't appear when I sign in). Could anyone tell me how to disable this (auto recalling feature)? In case, I need to modify registry, I am not an advanced user, so step by step instruction will be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Greetings anon,

To get the behavior you want, download and run the following .reg file:

Then reboot to see the change.
